LLMs will have limited seats for external urls. So they will eventually go for paid urls OR even organically, it logically makes sense for them to prioritise StackOverflow, Reddit, Quora kind of sites instead of independent websites. It will wield more advertising power to do this. Following money makes sense?
This is just waiting for the dust to settle in I guess.
That's a very valid concern, especially for content-heavy sites (blogs, wikis). If an LLM can summarize the answer, the user has no reason to click.
However, I suspect there's a distinction between Information and Utilities.
An LLM can summarize a StackOverflow discussion on "how to compress a PDF," but it cannot (yet) reliably perform the heavy client-side processing to actually do it securely in the browser without uploading data.
For tools and utilities, the "click" is still necessary to perform the action. My bet is that AI will act more as a dispatcher for specific tasks ("Go here to fix X") rather than just a summarizer.
But you're right — once LLMs get native, sandboxed execution environments, even tools might get absorbed.
I think indie products win on specific constraints.
If a user prompts generic stuff like "best pdf editor", the AI will likely route them to Adobe or the paid giants.
But users often prompt with constraints: "compress pdf locally", "convert pdf without uploading", or "pdf tools no signup".
That's where the indie product fits in. The big incumbents usually require uploads (for data harvesting) or logins (for growth). By strictly adhering to "privacy-first / local-only", my site satisfies a constraint that the big players structurally cannot.
Petition to start using AIO instead of GEO and not butcher geospatial/geographic/maps industries like we did with crypto for crypto currency and cryptography _/\_
I dont know the political angle. But if the DVDs and Blurays still keeping rolling under Paramount for WB Archives, I want Paramount to get it. It's super unlikely that Netflix will let the WB Archive live with physical media.
I mean, the way things are going, it's unlikely in both the cases. But I would get more time to collect everything I want by then with Paramount. Also, under Paramount WB Archive would be in the spotlight far more than under Netflix.
Ellison wants WBD for the TV networks, including CNN.
I don’t think they want the film division but the vast number of cable channels that Discovery owns. Giving them a rather large control of the American mind share.
I bought it in steam before they removed it. So I can still install and play this game from time to time. Capture the flag is something else in this game!
I have been hearing that blogging died since I started my personal website. The spotlight changed since social networking sites. That is all. Blogging is still alive and well.
I always liked semver. Never have I liked just churning version numbers. It tells you exactly what a release is. Dont even need to look at release notes (which some doesnt have).
It helps a lot with these dev cycles.
Recently, I saw even EmberJS moved away from it. I still think they could've done it without leaving semver. Maybe I'm wrong.
I started this journey from scratch. Despite not pushing for numbers and regular schedule, my website still have 20k viewers since I added analytics (didn't have analytics for 2 years in the beginning). That might be a small number for most, but it means that there are people who want to read what I write. That is all that matters. Atleast to me.
